New Dress.

This week we are pleased to present
the REPORTER in what newspaper men
call new dress. Our Office contained
a great deal of type that was very
seldom used, SO we shipped it to the
type foundry as old metal. In exchange
and by paying some cash we received
118 pounds of what is known as number
l3 Brewer type We hope our readers
will find more pleasure In reading 1T
than they did heretofore.
This office has also been in receipt OF
a nice line of advertising and job type
to complete OUT already well equipped
printing Office. We are always ready to
do all kinds of Job work on short notice.
Give us call W hen in need of anything
in our line.

Rev. w. II. Holmes has returned
from Caroline, Co., Va, to his
charge in this city, the Israel Bap-
tist church.
Throughout this city religious
interests have been fully developed
this winter. There are but few
churches which have not gone into
special revivals this season, and
the result has been nearly thous-
and conversions.
The Virginia Avenue Baptist
church, is busily engaged in ar
ranging its subscriptions and col
lections of 81 900, on Sunday, May
the 9Th.
This is the week for the calling
to the permanent pastorate Of the
Zion Baptist church, minister.
At this writing great excitement
prevails among the members, and
much anxiety among the aspirants
for the position.
AS the public generally is in
terested in the welfare of this
large and prosperous field, the
ouly names discussed SO far, are
Revs. William j. Howard, the
present supply, and John Ander-
son Taylor of Richmond, Va, with
the chances in favor of the first
named.

THE PHILOMATHIAN.
HUMAN SELECTION. ITS APPLICATION
TO MARRIAGES. Mk. LAWSON REA-
SONS LIKE A PHILOSOPHER.

There were many pretty female
faces at the PhilOmathian last
Thursday evening. The significant
paper of Mr.. John Il. Lawson, no
doubt causeu the females to come
out in force to ascertain what Mr..
Lawson knew about marriages.
His subjectwas, Human selec-
ton, it's application to marriages.
His reasons were good and dictiOn
smooth and logical.
He said that the animal creation
consists of individuals. Human
selection is the superintendent OF
mans supervision over natures
creative power. He concluded by
giving several reasons why per
sons should mary.
1st. Never let your marriage re-
duce you in social rank, let it, if
possible elevate you.
2nd. Never marry an unhealthy
person.
Sd. Steer clear of dangerous
rocks of hybridity, in other words
seek that type to which you are
mostly to attain.
4th. Never marry unless there is
an apparent way of support, either
that you already have something
or available means therefor. The
paper was discussed by Mr.. T. M
Dent, who agreed with the essayest
to some extent. Mr.. Hall created
great laughter and severely criti
cised city young ladies who go to
the country.
Mr.. Morris of the Indianapolis
World and Cleveland Plaindealel
didnot agree with Mr.. Lawson. HI
thought that persons should marry
poor if necessary. His address
was frequently applauded and seem
ed to meet the approval of all wh'
heard it.
